From simple extractions to advanced procedures like bone grafting, Smile Solutions Dentistry has the expertise to handle all aspects of oral surgery.
What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to treat issues involving the teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding structures. Common oral surgery treatments include tooth extractions, dental implants, bone grafting, and sinus augmentations. These procedures are performed to address pain, prevent further complications, and restore functionality and aesthetics to your smile.
With a highly skilled team led by Dr. B, Smile Solutions Dentistry provides personalized care, ensuring each patient receives the most appropriate treatment for their situation. Whether it’s removing a problematic wisdom tooth or preparing the jaw for dental implants, our office is equipped to handle your oral surgery needs with precision and care.
Types of Oral Surgery Procedures
All procedures are performed with patient comfort as a priority, using anesthesia and optional sedation techniques to ensure a pain-free experience.
Request AppointmentDental Implants
Dental implants are a popular solution for replacing missing or severely damaged teeth. Designed to mimic the appearance and functionality of natural teeth, implants help prevent problems like tooth shifting, bite misalignment, and difficulty chewing. We offer single and multiple dental implants as well as implant-supported dentures. Our team will work with you to choose the best option for your lifestyle and oral health.
Simple Tooth Extractions
These involve removing a tooth that is fully visible in the mouth. Simple extractions are typically performed under local anesthesia and are straightforward procedures.
Surgical Tooth Extractions
These are more complex and involve removing teeth that are broken, impacted, or not easily accessible. Surgical extractions may require an incision in the gum and are often used for procedures like wisdom tooth removal.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a crucial procedure for patients who have experienced jawbone loss due to missing teeth, gum disease, or trauma. The procedure involves transplanting bone tissue to strengthen the jaw and prepare it for dental implants or dentures. This treatment can significantly improve the stability and longevity of restorative solutions, ensuring a functional and natural-looking smile.
Sinus Augmentation
For patients with insufficient upper jawbone structure, a sinus augmentation may be necessary. This procedure involves adding bone to the area around the sinuses to create a stable foundation for dental implants. Sinus augmentations are particularly beneficial for individuals who have suffered bone loss in the upper jaw and want to restore their oral health through dental implants.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are one of the most common oral surgery procedures. While our goal is always to save your natural teeth, there are times when removal is necessary. Extractions may be recommended for reasons such as:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When tooth decay reaches an advanced stage and compromises the tooth structure, it may not be repairable. If fillings or root canal treatments are not effective, extraction is often required to prevent infection from spreading to other teeth.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth may become impacted when there isn’t enough space for them to emerge properly. This can cause pain, swelling, and damage to neighboring teeth. Extraction is often necessary to alleviate these issues.
- Crowded Teeth Interfering with Orthodontic Treatment: Sometimes there isn’t enough room in the mouth for all the teeth. If this is the case, tooth extractions are sometimes needed to create space, allowing for proper alignment during orthodontic treatments like braces or clear aligners.
- Advanced Gum Disease Causing Tooth Instability: Severe gum disease can lead to the loss of bone structure and cause teeth to become loose. In cases where the teeth can no longer be stabilized, extraction may be needed to stop the spread of infection and protect the health of the remaining teeth.
- Fractured or Damaged Teeth Beyond Repair: When a tooth is fractured, broken, or excessively damaged, it may not be possible to save it. If a tooth is beyond repair due to trauma or decay, extraction is often the best option to prevent further complications and to prepare for replacement options such as dental implants or dentures.
Oral Surgery Recovery and Aftercare
Proper recovery is key to a successful outcome after oral surgery. At Smile Solutions Dentistry, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure smooth healing. Common tips include:
- Managing Pain and Swelling: Use over-the-counter pain relievers and apply ice packs to reduce swelling.
- Maintaining Oral Hygiene: Avoid brushing or rinsing near the surgical site for the first 24 hours, and use a gentle saltwater rinse after that to keep the area clean.
- Dietary Adjustments: Stick to soft foods and avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy items that may irritate the area.
- Rest: Avoid strenuous activities for a few days to promote healing.
If you experience prolonged discomfort, excessive bleeding, or signs of infection, contact us immediately for follow-up care.
